Natural human-robot interaction in complex and unpredictable environments is one of the main research lines in robotics. In typical real-world scenarios, humans are at some distance from the robot and the acquired signals are strongly…
Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for biometric measurement and diagnosis of internal organs due to the advantages of being real-time and radiation-free. However, due to inter-operator variations, resulting images highly depend on the…
Metric depth prediction from monocular videos suffers from bad generalization between datasets and requires supervised depth data for scale-correct training. Self-supervised training using multi-view reconstruction can benefit from large…
Eye tracking (ET) is a key enabler for Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR). Prototyping new ET hardware requires assessing the impact of hardware choices on eye tracking performance. This task is compounded by the high cost of obtaining…

Voice recognition technology enables the execution of real-world operations through a single voice command. This paper introduces a voice recognition system that involves converting input voice signals into corresponding text using an…
How well can deep learning models trained on human-generated sounds distinguish between another species' vocalization types? We analyze the encoding of bat song syllables in several self-supervised audio encoders, and find that models…
A crucial ability of mobile intelligent agents is to integrate the evidence from multiple sensory inputs in an environment and to make a sequence of actions to reach their goals. In this paper, we attempt to approach the problem of…
Beam search is widely used for approximate decoding in structured prediction problems. Models often use a beam at test time but ignore its existence at train time, and therefore do not explicitly learn how to use the beam. We develop an…
Humans can naturally learn to execute a new task by seeing it performed by other individuals once, and then reproduce it in a variety of configurations. Endowing robots with this ability of imitating humans from third person is a very…
Learning the spatial topology of electroencephalogram (EEG) channels and their temporal dynamics is crucial for decoding attention states. This paper introduces EEG-PatchFormer, a transformer-based deep learning framework designed…
Robotic perception models often fail when deployed in real-world environments due to out-of-distribution conditions such as clutter, occlusion, and novel object instances. Existing approaches address this gap through offline data collection…
Human pose estimation is a major computer vision problem with applications ranging from augmented reality and video capture to surveillance and movement tracking. In the medical context, the latter may be an important biomarker for…
Intelligent assistive systems can navigate blind people, but most of them could only give non-intuitive cues or inefficient guidance. Based on computer vision and vibrotactile encoding, this paper presents an interactive system that…
Monitoring of bird populations has played a vital role in conservation efforts and in understanding biodiversity loss. The automation of this process has been facilitated by both sensing technologies, such as passive acoustic monitoring,…
Our objective is to transform a video into a set of discrete audio-visual objects using self-supervised learning. To this end, we introduce a model that uses attention to localize and group sound sources, and optical flow to aggregate…
